University of Surrey

The University of Surrey has received a prestigious Gold award in the first-ever Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).

What do the TEF Awards mean for you?

You’ll start preparing for your future from your first day on campus and will be given endless opportunities to boost your employability, from experiencing life in another country to getting hands-on experience in a professional environment. Our track record for graduate employability is one of the best in the UK, with 96 per cent of our undergraduates and 97 per cent of our postgraduates in employment (or further study) within 15 months of graduating (Graduate Outcomes survey 2020, HESA). We’ve also been awarded ‘University of the Year for Graduate Employment’ in The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide for 2022.

We do everything we can to make you feel safe, settled and happy during your time at university. We want our campus to feel like home and for you to quickly become part of our close-knit community. Our staff always put our students first. No matter what you need, there’s someone at Surrey who can help. We have a dedicated student advice and support hub at MySurrey Hive, friendly International Student Support teams, and students on placement have access to support and mentoring from their teaching staff. We’ve even created a dedicated space on campus, MySurrey Nest, where students can focus on their wellbeing.

We’ll be providing all of our undergraduates and postgraduate taught students with free digital copies of their essential textbooks. This is part of our commitment to making university more accessible, enabling you to learn in a more digital environment.

Life at university is more than just lectures and coursework, we make sure that your university experience is as varied and fulfilling as possible, providing you with endless opportunities to make the most out of your time with us.

If you’re interested in sport or want to keep active during your time at university, Surrey Sports Park, is home to a wide range of first-class facilities, including an eight-lane Olympic sized swimming pool, 120 station gym and 10m high climbing walls. If you just want to have fun and meet new people our Students’ Union also has a wide range of exciting clubs and societies, and organises unforgettable events to ensure you have the best possible university experience.
